DESCRIPTION:Join The Commons SF in a provocative launch to Black History Month through 
 the words and aspirations of three renowned Black intellectuals:  Frederick 
 Douglass, Oscar Brown, and Martin Luther King, jr.\n\nIn this one hour 
 session we'll read and discuss portions of Douglass' "What to the slave is 
 your 4th of July?" speech, listen to and discuss Oscar Brown's acerbic "40 
 acres and a mule" Beat homily, and read and discuss portions of MLK's 1967 
 "Where do we go from here?" speech.\n\nCitizenship without equality of 
 access to land upon which to make a livelihood is our theme, and each of 
 these Black intellectuals had plenty to say on that subject. Black History 
 without an actual "Promised Land" in discussion is vapid these voices 
 declared. Let's see if we can't rev up public discussion of how to 
 materialize the Promised Land!\n\nTo preview our reading and viewing, check
